This is a Nutmeg Mannakin spotted in the tall brush at Newport Beach's Back Bay Eco Reserve. The bird can't sit still for more than a moment. He constantly hops from one branch to another. This is a crop off a JPG original shot in RAW. Cropped dimensions are 1567x1044. It's razor sharp. I'm not so sure I need that 7D anymore. Specs are ISO 640, 1/1600 and F6.3.

Wicki..coming form you that is a real compliment thanks. After much experiment with the 400m on a 7D and 5D I have found the best settings for birds in the sky are: EC +1 to 1 2/3, 1/1600 to 1/2000, Tv priority, ISO 100 the aperture usually ranges between 5.6 and 6.3, Ai Servo and Zone AF. Zone Af is key but be sure to switch that off if not tracking such a large subject as I've ruined a few butterfly shots recently where Spot Af should have been chosen. I sometimes alternate between Evaluative metering and Partial metering. If Partial Metering I don't overexpose as much about 2/3's on EC
